If the hull of the ship were to be cast in a short period of time, even the dwarves would need to contribute a lot of stored steel and manpower to do so.

"Eric, what are you going to do?" Ria was curious and couldn't help but ask him.

Zhou Dong was silent at first, he was considering whether to let Liya know about this matter.

He has a way, but if it is exposed, it will reveal his inclination for pure utilitarian interests, which may reduce the favorability of Leah and Jane.

However, if it is done well, a crisis can turn into an opportunity, and it is all up to one's ability.

The difference between people, even if it is two different people cloned from the same person's genes, the difference will be revealed at this time.

How to choose?

"You come with me."

Zhou Dong took the two of them and saw his Morning Star Fort on the first peak not far after entering the Vortex Mountains.

Naturally, the two of them were also introduced to Kelder.

However, Zhou Dong did not reveal his relationship with Kelder, and he still asked Kelder to use the behavior pattern that belonged to the original Kelder to receive people and things.

Jane was shocked and hurriedly asked what the reason was, and Lia was also very curious about how a dwarf became the leader of a group of otherworldly leaders?

Although this is not an uncommon thing, Faeron is so big that everything can be done, and she has seen more strange things in her adventure career, but now she is only curious, not shocked.

The four of them discussed, and after listening to Zhou Dong's plan, the two women were surprised in their eyes.

As soon as the plan is finalized, implementation begins.

Zhou Dong first spent half a day drawing hundreds of drawings, and then packed them and started the second step.

Zhou Dong and a group of orcs from the alien race came with a few more intelligent and fast ones, and Kelder had been tied up into a bloody man, and they set off with the drawings and escorted him.

Accompanied by a hundred elites of a company.

It took this company half a day to rush to the cave gate of the Mountain Shield Dwarven Clan, alarming a group of dwarves.

The dwarves were shocked to see the son of the leader who had been tied up by the five flowers.

The orcs kept their distance, and only a few men went to negotiate with the dwarves with the blueprints.

"Within a month and a half, build the finished metal on these drawings, or kill this dwarf!"

As a warning, the orcs mercilessly chopped off one of Kelder's arms in front of the dwarves.

That's Plan 2.

After this was done, before the angry army of the dwarves came out to surround and annihilate it, the company, which had already passed the news, quickly retreated from the territory of the dwarven clan.

The angry dwarves naturally couldn't let them go so easily, so they picked out a group of some of them who were fast and quickly chased after them.

However, the company had long been divided into two, and some of the troops who were ambushed on the road rained down with crossbow arrows, and the power and accuracy of their crossbow arrows instantly made the dwarven vanguard kill and wound more than a dozen people, and they did not dare to chase it again.

Although the dwarves were anxious for the son of the chief, they also knew that the fate of the rash attack would only make more people die needlessly, and the elders of the tribe had already started an emergency meeting.

Zhou Dong did not remotely monitor what was happening in this meeting, nor did he plant any spies in the dwarven tribe, and he didn't even know if the king of the mountain shield dwarves, the "shield bearer", had returned.

The plan was very simple, send out the message, give a time limit, and hold on to it, just waiting for the dwarves to finish and deliver what he wanted.

With more and more experience, today's Zhou Dong is completely different from the past.

If it was in the past, in order to succeed this plan, Zhou Dong would do everything he could, planting many spies among the dwarves, using them to guide the general trend, and arranging many chess pieces and means on his side and around him, all just to ensure that the plan can be completed in control.

And now Zhou Dong, the means can be said to have reached a more advanced realm.

This time, Zhou Dong needed to use a lot of energy to feel that he could guarantee the completion of the task.

But now Zhou Dong only needs to use three points of energy to ensure that he can get what he wants.

Kelder is the key to the core, as long as he holds his card and does not lose, Zhou Dong is invincible, and the dwarf side will only become more and more anxious as time goes by, and the final winner must be him.

These are two different approaches.

The first is to use all your energy to ensure a 99% success rate, consume ten days, and obtain a profit of 100 percent.

The second is to use half of the energy to ensure an 80% success rate, the consumption time is 10 days, and the profit is 100, but because only half of the energy is used, two tasks can be carried out at the same time in these 10 days, and the profit is doubled from 100% to 1.8 times at once from the number of numbers.

However, Jane and Leah didn't believe things would go that way.

Zhou Dong also thinks so, but he knows very well that no matter how troublesome it is, if the dwarves make a move, he will dismantle it, and it is always more energy-saving and clever to wait for work than to try to control all the details of the whole situation.

Although Zhou Dong did not remotely monitor the dwarven meeting, he probably guessed the process of their discussion.

In fact, it is not far from Zhou Dong's expectations.

At the beginning of the meeting, the dwarves had been divided for a long time, but soon split into two factions that advocated support.

The first is the main battle faction, just like the government in the American movies in the original world resolutely does not compromise with the terrorists, although it is difficult to say what the situation is in reality, anyway, this group of dwarves thinks that they must take the initiative to kill the enemy, even if Kelder sacrifices for this, it is also a glorious sacrifice, and the leader and leader of the main battle faction is naturally Adilke, a battle maniac.

If there is a main battle faction, there will naturally be a main peace faction.

However, this Lord-peace faction is not advocating peace, after all, with the temper of the dwarves, no matter how pacifist it is, it is impossible to be stupid enough to make peace with a group of kidnappers, their proposition is to try to negotiate with the enemy first, if they can pay other costs, try to let Kelder return to their side safely as soon as possible, this is naturally the best, if not, then try their best to complete their demands, in short, they must let Kelder come back safely.

To say that the main battle faction does not fully support the battle, there are also several branches, for example, a group of people think that they want to send an elite army, feint on the surface, and sneak in to save people, such as Adike and Kelder have a holiday, they directly want to carry the axe and cut it.

The same is true of the Lord and the faction, each with their own ideas.

During the discussion, the Mountain Shield Dwarven clan also clearly showed different factional tendencies.

For example, conservatives who are staunch supporters of the Patriarch's shield bearers believe that Kelder must be safely returned at all costs.

Like the representative of the new radical faction, it is naturally Adirke, with his natural divine power and heroic attitude, he is more popular and loved by the young people of the clan, and he also has a group of staunch supporters in the clan.

As for the wall grass pie, it is not worth mentioning.

After discussion, the two sides decided that one side would give way.

The Lord and the faction sent several dwarven negotiators, led by Orsekko, who was considered the most intelligent in the clan.

To say that although this Olseco is a member of the three-phase hammer, he has been very fair in everything since he was a child in the clan, and his popularity is not weak in both conservatives and newcomers.

Because Zhou Dong had already told them our location when he left the message, this negotiation team easily found Fort Daystar.

Do you want to negotiate or not?

Leah and Jane looked at Zhou Dong, and then looked at Kelde, who had a broken arm or was still expressionless, and they all secretly felt cold in their hearts.

Zhou Dong felt a pity in his heart, after all, she was a female, and her psychological tolerance in terms of blood and violence was too poor.

"You can't give them the slightest hope, that will only make them want to keep delaying time, and the longer it goes, the more variables there are."

Zhou Dong was very decisive, and let Leah and Jane leave, and then Kelder cut off one of his ears and asked his men to tie him up to the open space in front of the fort.

Through the gate, the orcs placed Kelder's ears on a plate and gave them to the dwarven negotiators.

Look at the miserable Kelder, not only broke a left arm and a right ear, but also had a big short hair and beard, as if he had been cut, you must know that the dwarves treat their beards as seriously as human men treat ****.

At this moment, these dwarf negotiating envoys, including Olsek, were all angry and cold in their hearts, angry at the cruelty of these alien races, and cold at the cruelty of these alien races.

"Although you came empty-handed this time, we are very generous, not only are we not angry, but we also give you an ear, but my master said that if you come empty-handed next time, then we still don't care and are willing to send you some more things."

These orcs speak the lingua franca very standardly, and when they walk, they are like javelins, and their eyes and body momentum are fierce and fierce, and their demeanor is not inferior to the elite troops of the kingdom in the large human empire, or even better.

This discovery made Olseco's heart sink even more, and the other dwarves in the same group were all recognized as smart dwarves in the clan, and they would not do stupid things out of anger at this time.

Collecting their ears, they suppressed their anger and walked back, only to be met by a group of dwarves some way through.

However, the dwarves were in a restrained situation.

The dozens of dwarves who were used to protect and receive them were surrounded by a mixed army of five orcs, gnolls, and goblins.

In the current combat arms, among the three goblins, the normal dwarf goblins have been eliminated, and only those with better arm strength and eyesight have been selected into the shooter battalion, and the others can only become technical troops or do hard labor.

"Next time, except for the messenger, break into the warning area again, kill!"

The leader glared at Orsecko with a cold and murderous gaze, a strong, tall, two-meter-tall gnoll leader who seemed to have an extraordinary gaze, and at a glance it was clear that the highest of these dwarves was Olseco.

Looking at the comparison between the two sides, these dozens of dwarves were all captured, with major and minor injuries on their bodies, that is, none of them died.

This discovery made Orsekko's heart even more cloudy, but his face remained silent and took away his captured compatriots.

After he quickly returned to the underground cave dwelling of the Mountain Shield Dwarven Tribe, the management of the dwarves quickly surrounded him and questioned him.

Of course, Olseco didn't say anything when he saw it, but poured out the manuscript that had been retouched many times along the way, and used objective and calm tones and words to show the other party's strength and eccentricity, cruelty and indifference one by one.

And the attitude of the other side is also very clear, almost tougher than the main battle faction on their side, and there is no chance of peace talks.

At the same time, there was no need for Orseco to remind them that when these people questioned the dozens of dwarves who had been captured before, they had a better understanding of the strength of the multi-racial mixed force.

"To be able to control so many aliens to be subordinates together, to be able to train them into qualified soldiers, and to have a strong castle ......"

These dwarven management had a terrible headache, and as a result, the previous backup plan was useless.

The backup plan was to feint and secretly cross Chen Cang to save people, but now that they understood that the other party's apparent strength was so strong, they all understood that this chance was too small, and once it was discovered, it was likely to cause Kelder to be killed directly.

However, Olsecol and some of the Dwarven elders immediately rejected this possibility, and from the attitude of the enemy, the wise people could tell that the enemy attached great importance to those strange steel products.

Conservatives disagree with this backup plan, fearing that they will annoy the murderous aliens and kill Kelder.

The only options left are the main battle and the main peace.

After a heated discussion, and Olseco's intention to dissuade Adilk after understanding the strength of the enemy forces, the dwarves finally had no choice but to compromise.

……

Since the dwarves compromised, after receiving the first batch of products, Zhou Dong was very satisfied with the fact that he brought out the rather fat Kelder to show them, so that they could continue to work with confidence.

The mountain shield dwarves are pulling the whole clan to work together, desperately mining and desperately making steel.

Moreover, because of the more scientific steelmaking method provided by Zhou Dong, those craftsmen who were obsessed with forging among the dwarves even became curious about the enemy and dissipated some hatred.

On Zhou Dong's side, under the strong pressing, the work progress is also fast.

As time passed, the prototype of the submarine became more and more perfect day by day.

Zhou Dong was not idle, giving lessons to a group of scheduled crew members every day, and the auditors were also Lia and Jane.

It is worth mentioning that Jane, after careful consideration, decided to set off together, and neither Zhou Dong nor Liya could refuse this request.

The feud between the two women is also beginning to take shape, and the world of the two is destroyed by Jane...... Leah ignored the crew, and she asked Zhou Dong for another lesson.

Psychic abilities!

Because of her background, Ria had heard of psychic powers.

Due to the relatively rare number of psychic abilities on the Faren Continent, and after knowing that Jane had learned, Liya naturally didn't think that her talent would be much worse than Jane's.

In fact, as long as there are creatures with brain cells, Zhou Dong can basically induce their psychic abilities, and through the artificial enhancement frequency of others, the target can sense super-frequency psychic abilities.

For a period of time, as long as you have a normal person's IQ, you can complete the guidance and awaken the spiritual ability.

It's just that whether you can become stronger in the future, or whether you have always maintained the weakest level, it depends on everyone's efforts and talents.
